5 new MK: Deadly Alliances imagesYeh, I know I haven't updated on
time as usual, but things have been busy. Anyway, over the downtime
the official MK: Deadly
Alliance website decided to release some new images of MK:
Deadly Alliance, at first releasing two, and then just recently
three more. In a nutshell, the first was a sketch of Blind
Kenshi, and the second was of a newer Scorpion
versus Jax battle, this time in their new outfits. We
now know that this picture is the first ever in-game screenshot, so if
you want to see what the game is going to look like, check that pic out.
Then, the latest three featured an updated sketch of Blind
Kenshi with more in-depth information on his background, another
in-game screenshot of Shang
Tsung fighting Scorpion (as seen in the magazines), and an
in-game screenshot of the maskless
Sub-Zero (as seen in the magazines). So, make sure you
check out these numerus pictures, either at the official
MK: Deadly Alliance website or right here in the MK Empire's
MK:
Deadly Alliance section.

MK: DA appears in GamePro, Official X-Box,
and EGM magazinesWell, talk about the magazines
getting all the dirt, but here goes. First, it seems that GamePro
magazine has put into this month's issue a little preview of
MK:
Deadly Alliance with some basic info and in-game screenshots
from the Playstation 2 version. Some in-game screenshots include
Blind Kenshi (mysteriously sporting the name "Blind GI"), and a shocking
picture of who else but Kung Lao. So guess what... it looks
like the magazines have broken a little secret before we have and there's
another returning character! I guess Midway
lied about having just 10. But anyway, I also know that the June
issue of the Official
X-Box magazine also has a preview of MK: Deadly Alliance, sporting
the same info as always and some screenshots as well. They may be
getting a playable demo of the game, so possibly expect more information
in their July issue. Lastly, EGM
magazine recently put a 2-page spread of MK: Deadly Alliance
in their magazine, and they have some new facts and screenshots for us
to look at. Some things I'd like to mention that are important are
as follows: no run button, some multi-level arenas, Kung Lao is a
definite combatant, there is a new ice stage that looks phat with snow
and all, and a female Sub-Zero is highly likely. Now, the article
kept out any hype about the game because we need to see to believe, and
all the screenshots (most likely from the X-Box version) are real nice.
Okay, that's it, go get these magazines if you want them.

Game Informer magazine to do it againWord on the streets is that the
June issue of Game Informer
will sport some more information on MK:
Deadly Alliance, as well as be the first magazine with new
Blind Kenshi and Malvado screenshots and screenshots of the female Sub-Zero,
a returning character, and an unknown character as well. So, grab
this publication in 2 weeks if you can, but don't scan the pages, that's
illegal. :)

3 new MK: Deadly Alliance imagesJust recently the official
MK: Deadly Alliance website posted up three new images for
our viewing pleasure. The first is of Kitana
in her masked alternate costume and weapon state; the second is a sketch
of Malvado
that appeared in the Game Informer
magazine; the third is a sketch of Quan
Chi that includes a little story about his journey to the Deadly
Alliance and the birth of his new living weapon, which also appeared in
the Game Informer magazine. Make sure you check out the pics, which
you can see right in the MK: Deadly
Alliance picture section of this site.

MK: Deadly Alliance in PSM magazineNoob.com
was greatful enough to inform us that PSM
magazine had a little blurb about MK:
Deadly Alliance in their May issue. It basically said
things that we already know about, but probably the most important thing
is the picture they included of Blind Kenshi, which appeared in the Game
Informer issue last month, but now we can use it. We
have also gotten hints that PSM magazine will be doing a whole cover story
on MK: Deadly Alliance, so keep your eyes open for their June issue.
Boon posted the entire scan
at his site, and I've also updated the MK:
Deadly Alliance section with the picture of Kenshi. Enjoy.

Petition for MK: Deadly Alliance for the PCI find this very valuable to me
considering I have no video game system, so here goes. The guys over
at Planet MK have created
a petition
that they plan to send to Midway
once it gets lot of signatures of MK fans demanding that MK:
Deadly Alliance be released for the PC. As a webmaster
of an MK site, it's my duty to promote this petition, which is true is
saying that MK is practically the only fighting game for the PC and that
it is usually better than other versions. So, hurry up and sign
the petition today so that Midway will consider Planet MK's
proposition.

News arhive back onlineAfter months of trial and error
with what should be done about the old
news archive, I have finally finished my work and am satisfied
with the results. A couple of weeks ago I had experimented with a
java program, but it didn't work too well. But, I have done some
other work to make the page a little more sweet, and now I'm done.
So, check out the new old news archive
to catch up on things that have happened since the birth of the MK Empire,
and check out the new effect.

A little server troubleOn a quick note, if this site has
been down a lot over the past few weeks, it's because supposedly I'm taking
up too much room/getting too much traffic for free web space at Geocities.
Since I'm doing this, almost every other day I get an e-mail saying that
this site has been temporarily shut down, and that's exactly what Geocities
is doing. Of course, they won't respond to my e-mails, but I know
that they want me to upgrade to a pay-by-month address. So, just
bear with me, because although I am grateful for the many visitors I get,
you get what you pay for... you know?
